PAXTON, Neb. (AP) - Icy road conditions are suspected of causing a crash that killed a Colorado woman on Interstate 80 in western Nebraska.
Keith County Sheriff Kevin Mueller says the 42-year-old from Morrison Colo., was eastbound near Paxton about 7 a.m. Tuesday when her sport-utility vehicle apparently hit black ice and slid across the median. She then struck a westbound semi.
The woman, whose name has not been released, died at the scene. The semi driver was not hurt.
Mueller says the investigation is continuing.
